CPCSC Evidence Based

Plan for Improving Behavior

and Discipline within Schools

Result: A demonstrated improvement in school safety and classroom management.

Guideline 1: Improve safe school planning and classroom management using positive behavior support, parental involvement, and other effective discipline tools.

Goal: By the end of the 2013-2014 school year all buildings will establish, communicate, and monitor positive behavior expectations across all school situations that are related to the behavioral goals expressed in the high school’s portrait of a graduate. Parents and students when surveyed will indicate a belief that the school is a safe and orderly environment.

New Anti-Bullying Legislation

• During the 2013 legislative session, the General Assembly passed HEA 1423, and the Governor signed P.L. 285-2013 into law. The law requires a response from the Department of Education, in collaboration with school safety specialists and school counselors.

http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2013/PDF/HE/HE1423.1.pdf

http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title5/ar2/ch10.1.htmlIC5-2-10.1-12



• "Bullying" is now defined as (per IC 20-33-8-.2) overt, unwanted, repeated acts or gestures, including verbal or written communications or images transmitted in any manner (including digitally or electronically), physical acts committed, aggression, or any other behaviors, that are committed by a student or group of students against another student with the intent to harass, ridicule, humiliate, intimidate, or harm the other targeted student and create for the targeted student an objectively hostile

school environment that:

• (1) places the targeted student in reasonable fear of harm to the targeted student's person or property;

• (2) has a substantially detrimental effect on the targeted student's physical or mental health;

• (3) has the effect of substantially interfering with the targeted student's academic performance; or

• (4) has the effect of substantially interfering with the targeted student's ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities, and privileges provided by the

school.

Elementary PBIS Response to New Anti-Bullying Legislation

• During the month of October, in compliance with HEA

1423, the PBIS paras at the seven elementary schools developed and implemented research based lessons for all students in grades K-5 focusing on anti-bullying. Many of these lessons were found on the DOE website. Some schools purchased anti-bullying t- shirts for staff and students, put information in their school newsletters and discussed the topic on the morning announcements during the month.
